I love my vegetables. I love eating them. I love photographing them. I think these purple Dutch carrots can be the next top model of the vegetable world.

Like the chargrilled broccoli from the previous post, I did not want to lose the beautiful flavours of these carrots by muddling them with too many other ingredients. I wanted them to sing, sing on their own! They did just that - with good quality olive oil and short cooking time so that they were tender but still had a bit of a crunch.
